Answer:

I think so

Explanation:

It would provide an extra energy boost with lower sugars. Students bring drinks to school anyways so it would be nice to offer some that aren't as detrimental.

Answer:

$\text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\\boxed{\text{five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$

Explanation:

1. Miles travelled in an average month

$\text{Miles} = \text{1 mo} \times \dfrac{\text{52 wk}}{\text{12 mo}} \times \dfrac{\text{5 da}}{\text{1 wk}} \times \dfrac{\text{16 mi}}{\text{1 da}} = \text{347 mi}$

2. Using a gasoline powered vehicle

(a) Moles of heptane used

$n = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{36.5 mi}}\times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{679.5 g}}{\text{1L}} \times \dfrac{ \text{1 mol}}{\text{100.20 g}}= \text{244 mol}$

(b) Equation for combustion

C₇H₁₆ + O₂ ⟶ 7CO₂ + 8H₂O

(c) Moles of CO₂ formed

$n = \text{244 mol heptane} \times \dfrac{\text{7 mol CO$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol heptane}} = \text{1710 mol CO$_{2}$}$

(d) Volume of CO₂ formed

At 20 °C and 1 atm, the molar volume of a gas is 24.0 L.

$V = \text{1710 mol } \times \dfrac{\text{24.0 L}}{\text{1 mol}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.785 L}} = \textbf{10 800 gal}$

3. Using an electric vehicle

(a) Theoretical energy used

$\text{Theor. Energy} = \text{347 mi} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kWh}}{\text{5.2 mi}} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.}$

(b) Actual energy used

The power station is only 85 % efficient.

$\text{Actual energy used} = \text{66.7 kWh theor.} \times \dfrac{\text{100 kWh actual}}{\text{ 85 kWh theor.}}\times \dfrac{\text{3600 kJ}}{\text{1 kWh}}\\\\ = 2.82\times 10^{5} \text{ kJ}\$

(c) Combustion of CH₄

CH₄ + 2O₂ ⟶ CO₂ +2 H₂O

(d) Equivalent volume of CO₂

The heat of combustion of methane is -802.3 kJ·mol⁻¹

$V= 2.82\times 10^{5}\text{ kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol methane}}{\text{802.3 kJ}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CO$_{2}$} }{\text{1 mol methane}} \times \dfrac{ \text{24.0 L}}{ \text{1 mol CO$_{2}$}}\\\\ \times \dfrac{\text{1 gal}}{\text{3.875 L}} = \textbf{2180 gal}$

4. Comparison

$\dfrac{V_{\text{gasoline}}}{V_{\text{electric}}} = \dfrac{10800}{2180} = 5.0\\\\ \text{An gasoline-powered vehicle has }\\ \boxed{\textbf{ five times the carbon footprint}}\text{ of an electric vehicle.}$

How do you determine valence electrons of a metal? A non Metal?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Check the electronic configuration of elements.

Explanation:

▪Valence electrons are the elwctrons present in the outermost shell of any element.

For example,

Electronic Configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Here , Sodium has 1 valence electrons.

▪Valency of an element is the total no. of electrons to be gained/losed in order to achieve duplet/octate state.

For example,

Electronic configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Sodium can achieve octate state either by losing 1 electron or gaining 7 electrons. But losing 1 electron is eay than gaining 7 electrons. So Valency of Sodium = +1

☆Metals have 1 or 2 or 3 valence electrons.

☆Non metals have 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 valence electrons.

☆Noble gases tend to stay in duplet/octate state i.e they have 2 or 8 valence electrons.

A student prepares a 0.47mM aqueous solution of acetic acid CH3CO2H. Calculate the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissoc

Aliun [14]

The fraction of acetic acid that is dissociated is 0.18

Why?

The chemical equation for the dissociation of acetic acid (HAc) is the following:

HAc(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + Ac⁻(aq)

To find the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissociated form (f), we apply the following equation (Ka for acetic acid is 1.76*10⁻⁵). This equation comes from solving the equation of the equilibrium constant for the dissociated fraction of HAc:

$f=\frac{-Ka+\sqrt{Ka^{2} +4KaC} }{2C} = 0.18$

Have a nice day!

A metal X from two oxide A and B .3.oogm of A and B contain 0.72 and 1.16g of oxygen respectively.calculate the maases of metal

devlian [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, we have to determine the mass of metal X. We can do that by interpreting the first and second statement mathematically.

Metal X can form 2 oxides (A and B).

A + B = 3g

The mass of oxygen in A is 0.72g and the mass of oxygen in B is 1.16g.

The mass of metal X in the two oxides will be the same because it's the same metal.

Thus, we represent the mass of the metal in the two oxides as 2X.

2X + 0.72 + 1.16 = 3

2X + 1.88 = 3

2X = 3 - 1.88

2X = 1.12

X = 0.56

<u>Thus, 0.56 g of the metal combines with 0.72g of oxygen in A and 1.16 g of oxygen in B.</u>

Thus, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in A is

0.56g ⇒ 0.72g

X ⇒ 1

X = 1 × 0.56/0.72

X = 0.78 g

Hence, 0.78g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for A

Also, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in B is

0.56g ⇒ 1.16g

X ⇒ 1g

X = 1×0.56/1.16

X = 0.48 g

Thus, 0.48g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for B
